Event description

Solo Artist Competition 2025

Every year, students across the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music are invited to compete for the opportunity to perform as a soloist with The University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, The University of Melbourne Wind Symphony, or one of the other Conservatorium ensembles.

In 2025, the final round will be on 30 June in Hanson Dyer Hall. Apart from the winner(s) of the concerto performance opportunity, additional prizes may be awarded at the discretion of the Adjudication Panel, which includes internationally renowned pianist Caroline Almonte, Associate Professor Richard Davis (Head of Orchestral Studies), Senior Lecturer Stephen Grant (Head of Voice), Associate Professor Jaclyn Hartenberger (Wind Symphony, Conducting) and Richard Narroway (Violoncello).

Thank you for your interest in our competition, and above all, in the commitment and brilliance of our students.

Patrons are welcome to attend the competition at any point during the competition.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information. 

ACCESSIBILITY

All venues at the Southbank campus are wheelchair accessible. To read more about access services available at our venues, please visit:  https://finearts-music.unimelb.edu.au/access-our-events.
